The training of specialists in sphere of power engineering

Abstract

The tasks of this work are: analysis of trends in the development of engine building, which relates to the important direction of power engineering, and assessment of the quality of training of engineering and technical specialists in domestic universities, investigating the conformity of their professional knowledge with modern requirements. It is emphasized that the process of training engineering and technical personnel in the field of power machine-building specializing in internal combustion engines should be constantly improved taking into account the rapid development of modern engine building. The factor of the qualitative level of training specialists possessing the necessary knowledge in the field of technology and the development of highly efficient engines acquires important state significance. The tendencies of development of engines for transport and transport-technological facilities are considered. It is noted that foreign companies have far gone in the implementation of innovative technical solutions associated with a significant complication in the design of engines, systems. Successful practical implementation of these solutions has become possible, among other things, thanks to the high level of training of foreign specialists with the necessary knowledge in the field of technology. The problem of the emerging decline in the level of university training of engineering personnel in the sphere of Russian energy engineering is analyzed. Moreover, over the past decades, Russia has experienced a tangible need for skilled engineers and technologists, who have been and continue to be the backbone of domestic production. It is emphasized that all this can lead to the loss of promising technologies in the production of competitive domestic engines, and will cause catastrophic consequences for the country's economy and its defense capability.
